Love to look and see what we can do for you! Give us a call!
They start at 250/260 lbs and go up from there. I haven't run into any over 500lbs, but I'm sure they're out there.
We are going to need more information to better understand the situation.
Like everyone else has mentioned you have to do your due diligence in securing a high quality contractor. However, you the client may want to switch the context of the question. If you are implying that your residence address has an assumed effect on the face value of your estimate, then I would have to make the assumption that your address dictates a certain level of implied “quality” if you will. So if your tastes and design are at an architectural standard that requires high end craftsmanship and the price point will reflect such expertise. When doing a project in your home you always want to pay for the knowledge and not just the brawn. If you were remodeling a kitchen in a small rental apt in a college town community your price point again would reflect the simplicity of the job. Hope this helps…
Who is the contractor and what did thet do?
What do you mean by bogus? Is he not a real contractor, or did you have a bad experience with him?
If the company is a Guildmember, you should be able to submit a review in the bottom right-hand corner of their profile page. For companies that are not Guildmembers, we don't presently accept reviews.
Do your homework by not only interviewing several contractors, but talk to their previous clients and get their take on the value they received working with their contractor. There isn't a professional contractor operating that charges more based on where the project is located.
It's important you trust your contractor and that they are a good fit for how you like to operate. Take the time to understand their process. When all is said and done, you should be having fun through your project. If you're not, you might have picked a contractor that doesn't fit the best.
Good luck and HAVE FUN!! :)
Find a design-build contractor you trust and let them take you through their system. They will take all of the guess-work and most of the headaches out of th process, ensuring you enjoy the project during AND after. Also, check out the site https://Houzz.com Houzz is a great site for organizing your ideas and generating new ideas for design and product.
Have fun!!
They are tough to take off. If it's glued to drywall, you can use a prybar to rip it off from the drywall. Note: You will more than likely need to repair the drywall when you're finished, if you are going to have a finished wall. Go slow or you'll break the mirror. Also, wear safety glasses and gloves - a must.
Here are some helpful steps to make the process safe:

I have not heard of it and therefore not used it. I got a couple or favorable ratings on Yelp, could not find anything about it in Houzz or Pinterest.

I agree, 300+ is typical.
